A friend of mine tells of an experience he once had. He and his family were on a campout trip with other families from his church. They had a wonderful time of eating food cooked out of doors, sharing times of joy and laughter and worshiping together. Fellowship, togetherness and feeling the bond built between yourself and others at such a gathering can be precious. In truth, those times are needed and they help strengthen our sense of person-hood and confidence as a person loved and appreciated.
